Abstract:
Women experiencing homelessness constitute a group with idiosyncratic characteristics and needs that have largely remained invisible. Their discriminatory situation has been studied very little which may limit the design of specific intervention strategies. Buenos Aires (Argentina) is one of the main megalopolises in Latin America, where information on women experiencing homelessness is scarcely available. The main objective of this paper is to analyze different aspects related to intersectional anticipated discrimination perceived by women experiencing homelessness in Buenos Aires (n = 72). A structured interview was used to collect the information. The findings show that the vast majority of women experiencing homelessness in Buenos Aires reported experiencing unfair treatment and anticipated discrimination. In addition, more than two-thirds of the women interviewed indicated that they felt they could be insulted or detained without cause, among other unfair treatment. Among the main reasons attributed by the interviewees to these situations of discrimination were the fact of being homeless, being women (cis or trans), and being poor. The results obtained may be useful to guide the design and implementation of policies, services, and programs for women experiencing homelessness with a gender perspective.
